You cannot beat the price on this item. For all the information you get, this is a really, really good buy.

While this one is well-worth the price, if you want information on thumbtip tricks, I would recommend getting Gary Darwin's "101 Thumb Tip Tricks." A lot of the same illusions are listed, but Gary gives some that are not in this book and I prefer his illustrations and the explanations of the tricks and the handling better than this one. BUT...for the price, as I said, you cannot afford not to have this book in your library.
